Like Dean Ambrose laying face down in the ring as the arena emptied.
In the main event WWE‘s Sunday event in Fort Myers, FL, Ambrose successfully defended his Intercontinental Championship against Seth Rollins. But after the match, Rollins decided Ambrose needed a Curb Stomp. And after getting his skull smashed into the ring, Ambrose thought he’d try some performance art.

But Ambrose was only just getting started. As fan shuffled out of the arena, Ambrose remained motionless in the ring for 15 minutes.

This is wrestling at it’s finest. While we all know Ambrose is OK, it’s good to see some silliness in WWE’s ring. Ambrose’s sell of the Curb-Stomp makes Rollins look like a juggernaut, the true objective for any heel. While won’t be seeing this spot on television, the power of the internet will make this footage live forever.
And by epic sell job, I mean Ambrose basically laid in the ring koโd for 5, 10, maybe even 15 minutes afterwards. Well after Tom Phillips said the goodbyes and mostly everyone had left. #WWEFortMyers pic.twitter.com/6BhbHbY7At
